Halo 3 Sonnet

Nice update. I like how there are more coming in faster now, gives me something to read and extend my patients a little bit.

vow!
nd u still didn't say how to make stuff float in the air, like a weapon.


You are allowed to edit with Forge in "real-time". Thus meaning, if someone is playing as a spartan/elite and u are using your monitor to move around a box, the players will see the box moving around. You dont pause time and edit. As for the weapon floating, you forget about gravity. Correct me if I'm wrong anyone, but you cannot make a weapon stick in mid-air. If i remember right u can make them spawn in the sky but they will reach the gground eventually.

Well Bungie just doesnt want people whining to them that "Halo 3 is broken" (in worse language, of course) because it slowed to 1 FPS or crashed when they decided to fill High Ground with Fusion Coils.

ZOMFG! Forge is gonna be crazy amazing, i cant wait to see some great map variants and forge films from the halo community

oh and 1 question, in Forge can i have things hover in the air, or will it always fall to the ground? i know that i can make objects hover while i'm editing, but while i'm playing could there be a platform like 50ft in the air made out of a few crates?

I really hope bungie is going to fix the weapon spawns. All other good competitive shooters have the weapons on a timer that runs from the start of the game, not one that starts as soon as you pick up a gun. Having a timer that only starts when you pick up a gun is unfair and imbalances the game. It was one of the many problems with h2. If one team gets a spawn near a powerup/weapon and pick it up right away then the other team have no clue when it will respawn, whereas the team that initially picked it up know exactly when to get it again, so theoretically the other team will never be able to pick up that power weapon if they never know when it is going to respawn.

Halo 1 had weapon spawns on a timer and it added depth to the game. There was never any camping because you could not camp and let the other team continually get powerups. Bungie would be deranged not to put that weapon spawn system back in the game or at least one not so unfair as the one in h2.

Hey, is there an option to remove all removable objects (weapons, crates, ect.) from a map? Or do we have to do it manually?

Is an update going to be released to remove the broken feature? or do we just have to try and remember to avoid it?

I, like many of you, am very curious why a broken feature was left in the game. Don't get me wrong, it's a tiny feature that I don't really care about, but will it be fixed? Nevertheless, I'm WAYYY excited for it!

How's life?

Takin' forever...

Will a plasma pistol overcharge disable the Monitor like it does the vehicles?

Now that is a good question.

First off what the hell does this have to do forge, second we have heard this over and over again already in the forums, and third with forge you can change that if you please. So plz stop wasting forum space with over stated comments on something as such with the game already finished. If you don't have a comment about forge then take your comments to another thread pertaining to what your comment says.

Now for my post. Thank you Bungie for this feature. This is something I never saw coming, and at this point it sounds amazing and i can't wait to get my hands on it. Who knows, maybe this will turn out some amazing gametypes that will become epic, such as Warcraft 3 with DotA.

Hey dumbass, they pretty much explicitly stated that weapons would be on a screwed up timer. What does this have to do with forge? Well i want my weapons to be on a set timer, i hoped bungie would put this in seeing as how probably one of the largest problems with their matchmaking system was that they started you with a -blam!- weapon that was not capable of jack -blam!- and if the other team got a power weapon first it was over because there was no way of knowing when it would respawn. Well if bungie wants that bull-blam!- in matchmaking then fine, but i want to play in a fair game. Forge wont let us change that so it renders the weapon respawn timer almost useless. Who cares how long a weapon is going to take to respawn when only one team knows when it will come back anyway? They can wait all day because odds are that they took map control with that powerweapon and will probably have the ability to gain access to that weapon again or catch the other team while they are camping trying to grab it themselves at the wrong time.

I want the game to be fair. Forge sounds great, but i want the factors of the game that we have no control over not to be broken right out of the box. The fact that bungie has ignored the issue of weapon spawns is completely ridiculous and anyone who has ever played any other competitive shooter will agree. Dont fix what isnt broken. H1's spawn timers were not broken and bungie -blam!- them up in h2 along with a list of other things that werent broken.

Bungie can try to woo over people with fantastic extra features in their game but if the basics are not addressed then what is the point? I like the fact that we can fix all of bungie's mistakes on every map now. However, it would be lovely if bungie could at least fix their own problems. These are problems that will affect the longevity of the game, and i would hope bungie would be smart enough to realize it. Why did h1 last 3+ years whereas h2 lasted only half a year? Its the little things that count. Do the basics right then focus on the more advanced features. Bungie likes to skip the basics alltogether.

I have not played anything more than the beta as of yet, and i am currently looking forward to finishing the halo storyline. I do support bungie because they have proved to be a quality developer in the past, but i think that they have had a lapse in concentration with h2. Im hoping they get back on track and they have my half-vote of confidence. Here's to hoping h3 is 2 for 3 for bungie.

I assume that the whole host-only editing will probably be patched within a couple of months after release (hopefully). I hope so. I had so many ideas for that!
